 Arsenal, Man United fingered  in  Osimhen’s Al- Hilal snub


Nigeria International striker  Victor Osimhen  reportedly  snubbed the  big money move to the Saudi Pro league with Al Hilal  following a  renewed interests from two  English Premier giants, Arsenal and Manchester United.

At the weekend, a move to Saudi Arabia looked to be all sewn up for the Napoli-owned  striker , with the Italian club reportedly agreeing a deal worth around €75million (£63.2million). However,   he rejected  the ‘pharaonic contract’ rumoured to include a whopping €30million (£25.3million) per-year contract.

The 26-year-old has spent the last season on loan at Galatasaray, where he won the Turkish  Cup and Turkish Super Lig – following up his Serie A title from 2022/23 with Napoli.

But according to Tuttosport newspaper as reported by Football Italia, Osimhen  may  have been convinced  to snub a move to Al-Hilal following a renewed  interest  from ‘Arsenal and Manchester United , who perhaps offer less salary, but other prospects’.

“Both Premier League clubs are looking for a new centre-forward this summer, and they’ll likely cross paths with Juventus. Osimhen isn’t the only common target, given that Sporting CP star Gyokeres is also on the agenda of all three clubs, as well as Al-Hilal, which is still actively searching for a striker,”

Elsewhere according to  SCORENigeria: “Juventus  is believed  to be in pole position to sign him , while Galatasaray will also fancy their chances to keeping him after this sharp turn of events in the last few hours.

“Juventus though will have to pay far beyond the 75 Million Clause as that is also valid for clubs outside of Italy.”
